About

Overview

The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District seeks proposals from artists to design and create a series of handcrafted awards recognizing outstanding watershed volunteers and community partners. These awards will be presented during the District's annual recognition dinner in November each year. This annual commission may be long-term (5 years or more) if all parties agree. RWMWD welcomes proposals from artists working in a variety of mediums and encourages creative interpretations that reflect the importance of surface water, natural resources, stewardship, and community.

Project Scope

The selected artist will design and fabricate four to five (4–5) unique awards that reflect the mission and values of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, are appropriate for presentation as recognition awards, and are durable and suitable for long-term display. Awards may incorporate themes related to water bodies (lakes, streams, wetlands), watersheds, watershed wildlife, or surface water stewardship. The District will provide award recipient names for incorporation into the final pieces if desired by the selected artist.
